Just wanted to get a rough idea of how many fish are kept and eaten by our members. Demographics of the catch would also be nice.
For me this inlcudes:
9 Sockeye (my favorite eating fish)
3 Fraser Springs (close second for eating)
5 Coho (I don't like them near as much so I don't keep as many)
1 Chum (Chromer kept for eggs and smoking)
-
Oooh, more bragging opportunities.... ;D
1 red spring
10 coho
2 chum (so far)
16 smallmouth bass
-
I have only killed a few fish for my family (I don't eat fish, except halibut). The sockeye eluded me for yet another seaosn...
These are the fish I killed for me/family:
2 chinooks
2 coho
I killed a lot more fish for other people (I mean a lot, mostly halibut). I know it's illegal to sell sport-caught fish, so I wasn't doing any of that (althoug I had offers...).
These are the fish I killed for other people (buddies, etc):
4 chinooks
4+ coho
2 lingcod
15+ halibut
1 skate
6+ rock fish (yelloweye included)
1 sea-lion (almost...)
1 squid (sorta)
many others I was unable to release so I retained them.
-
So far, 1 coho and 1 chum. Then in the winter, 3-5 steels, depending on size.
-
The bass tastes fantastic. Fillets, dipped in bread crumb and pan fry. :)
-
I think red springs taste the best, they melt in the mouth when smoked. Sockeye second, then coho. I've killed more reds than any other species this year... but after this weekend I think my coho count will be ahead. BP
-
I have fish every nite for dinner.
